I know in the middle of all this you're praying for me and Lexi and a smooth time finishing all the paperwork. Thank you, thank you!

Could you (if you don't think I'm insane)pray for my cat, too? I know this is a crazy request. But, she's a little sick. I think my housekeeper gave her tapwater. Great, huh? It could be adjusting to a new food, but the new food was more than a bag ago and I was careful to change it gradually, mixing it with the old, etc. The old food made their fur fall out. The new food is lamb and chicken--should be easy to digest, not hard.

And, the last time I went away without her, she quit eating. Remember that? And she nearly died.

Kate, Beazy already has a spot in my prayers for your family :) I've been lifting up the likely difficulty of her adjustment to life with a child in the house; her stomach will now join her mental health in my prayers! ;)

(I am sure Denver would send his regards to Beazy, but he is too busy racing himself up and down the length of our home ... I can't tell if he is winning or losing, but he seems pretty desperate about it. Dakarai is watching him closely, clearly of the opinion that his new roommate is out of his mind)

Tell Beaz than Winston is recovering (slowly) from a particularly disgusting cat absess involving an expensive run to the vet and a lot of medicine shoved down his throat. Surely there must be some genetic pluckiness that she can dig down and find!

I have one who's starved herself nearly to death twice. She's also very much a one-person cat. I reconciled myself a few years ago that she probably wouldn't be a kitty who lived to 20. Well, as of this month, she's 18. Just had a senior check-up--we're changing her diet because of preliminary signs of kidney trouble, but that's it.

Another of my kitties had a stomach bug a few weeks ago. He was pathetic. Not eating at all, and this is a cat who lives to eat. Lying around with no energy, not coming out to greet me. Took him to the vet...$129 of exam, tests, meds, and special food later...5 minutes home, he had his head in the bowl of crusted-over food left from breakfast. Almost normal by bedtime, completely back to normal within a couple of days.

Best wishes and prayers for your kitty, and for all of you in the adjustments to come!

Happy Rainbow Day to you and Lexi. And your poor kitty, the changes she'll have to endure! But now she'll have two people in her life to love. Of course, Beazy is in my prayers as well. Our kitties are a very important part of our lives.

Oh corse I will pray for the cat! As a fellow crazy cat person, I can certainly feel for you on this one. I think about my fur babies all the time - what in the world are they going to do when we have to be in RUssia for at least 4 weeks to pick up our little one? They don't eat much either when we're gone...

I'm glad you stopped by! This blog chronicles my experiences living in and adopting from Russia. It was a six-year journey that doubled the size of my family. I adopted my daughter, then age 6, from Moskovskaya Oblast. Now we're back in the USA and no longer posting from Russia.
